    摘要: A microfluidic electroporation device for exogenous molecules transfection is disclosed. The microfluidic electroporation device includes an electroporation chamber assembly, an ultrasound vibrator, and a controller. The electroporation chamber assembly includes an input chamber for exogenous molecules, a MEMS filter, an activation chamber and a MEMS plate. The MEMS plate holds cells within individual cavity for electroporation. Both the MEMS filter and the MEMS plate are made of semiconductor process by wet etching and/or ICP dry etching with V-shaped cavities. The top surfaces of the MEMS filter and the MEMS plate are coated with metal layer for applying electric field during the electroporation process. The electroporation chamber assembly is attached to an ultrasound vibrator which is operated intermittently to allow cells to be fixed in the cavity of the MEMS plate during electroporation process and popped out for collection after electroporation process.
